multiMAN - multifunctional tool for your PS3 (Game manager/File manager/FTP/AVCHD/BDMV)

maybe your pkg file doesn't have the right files.

I used one I found one the web as I couldn't get it to work.

Here what the instructions said

copy all games files to an external HD. I ran the UP0001-BCUS98245_00-0000111122223333.pkg which is for 3.55 and then I ftped the USRDIR ( Don't copy the eboot.bin), TROPDIR & LICDIR to the /dev_hdd0/game/BCUS98245/USRDIR (the pkg file creted the BCUS98245 directory for me.)

and then I ran the game from the xmb and it worked. I started the game and it asked if I wanted to import my LBP stuff and I said yes. Only issue I saw was a none game issue was my daughter used the max pictures and characters. She has a ton.

The game started and I played a bit as I didn't want to spoil it for my daughter.

Even if im on the Waninkoko CFW would i still need to install the package ?

it's a pkg for 3.55 so it needs to be run as it creates the game directory and puts the patched files need for it to work.

I'm on Geohot 3.55 only and it works fine.

Let me know if it works on Waninkoko as I'm thinking of going to a new FW.

NO!!! I did not read all of pages of posts before I posted this.

I am on kmeawCFW3.55 I installed directly from 3.41 with no issues and i have a 80gig phat.

i only tried this once and do not want to try again but i thought i would post anyway.

I ran lvl2 pkg and everything went as it should.

I than rebooted just because i wanted to try multiman without having run the lvl2 pkg just to see what would happen and what a surprise it did not work as everyone said.

I than ran the lvl2 pkg and it froze my PS3

I had to hard boot

After reboot i ran the lvl2 pkg and then multiman and a backup and everything went as planed.

i am posting this info on multiman thread and lvl2 pkg thread because i dont know who wants this info.

This is not a question. And i am having no other issues pertaining to my PS3.

Great work

yeah i will give it a go and see how i go. Thought it was not needed for the waninkoko cfw but might just see how it goes.

im on wutang cfw > geohot cfw > then running lv2 patcher.pkg open multiman try to run a game get taken to xmb then i have no disc icon or any way to boot my games any ideas?

[Big_Daddy]

This may sound completely stupid but just as a general question as I so far haven't seen it anywhere else I have looked, when I place the backup I made I place the whole BLES/BLUS/BCES etc folder in right? Not singularly the USRDIR, as i'm quite used to using Eboot method, this new Wutang type method is, iconicly new to me. Cheers.

I have a question I've been wanting to know for awhile, I guess the thread of a BM creator is a good a place as any to ask.

With the release of 3.55 CFW, and patches to level1/2 to have BMs work on them, why do 3.50+ games still not work vanilla?

What I mean is, before we couldn't play games like NFS:HP because they required 3.50 firmware, and even if we spoofed 3.50 firmware we didn't have the keys to decrypt the eboot.bin and play. When the keys were leaked and we were decrypting stuff, we could modify eboots and have then run on 3.41.

I was assuming when CFW with Backups enabled on 3.50/55 hit, games like this would just boot and run like normal.

This isn't the case yet though, whats missing in the equation? If you're on 3.50 the keys to decrypt the eboot.bin are there...the patched BM with the calls are there? Whats the reason these games aren't booting still, is it AP in the games?

For example games like ACB which worked with some debug patches and param.sfo changes on 3.41 don't work on CFW 3.55 clean with the new lvl1/2 patches, I just want to know why, almost all 3.41 and below games worked on the BM clean with no changes or patches, whats new with these 3.50 games.

Another example is LBP2 works perfectly fine with 3.41 and the eboot.bin change, but why doesn't it work on CFW 3.55 with the new lvl2 patch and new BM managers? Isn't the only thing stopping it from running was the eboot.bin not being decrypted properly, and now that we have 3.55 with the proper decryption keys, it should just run fine clean with no changes?

What am I missing here/what is missing from the equation to get new games/backups running like they did back on 3.41? What has yet to be done? I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering. I'm waiting to take the jump to 3.55 when games run clean with no big modifications like they did in the 3.41 game days.

Thanks for sharing any info!

There are a lot of games which didn't work with JB and 3.41. Some give black screens, other lock your PS3. They are simply not supposed to work without the original game disc and must be launched from the original bd disc.

Don't forget that JB payloads (for example hermes4b) change a lot of things besides creating the syscall36 path redirection.

deank, after updating to kmeaw cfw, installed
multiMAN ver 1.12.05 BASE [20110113_170000] FW 3.55

i started fresh with games and GT5 works 100%, games working fine
no need for a reboot

but when i try to load any AVCHD, put in usbstick, normally(3.41JB)it worked, now its trowing me back to XMB

AVCHD error: 800299D2
you load AVCHD
Multiman fix structure, ask for USB stick
normally here it goes to the XMB, now it goes back to Multiman main AVCHD screen, u see USB stick working
hit the AVCHD again, it drops to XMB
Select Video,usb, AVCHD folder, t starts and come's up with that error 800299D2.

AVCHD mounting requires syscall35 or syscall8. I doubt these new CFW and lv2.pkg support any of these.

You don't have a disc icon because YOU HAVE TO INSERT A GAME DISC.

well, finally decided to do it... all is good, and multiMan themes install fine so there's no need for any signing...

feels weird not playing with my dongle...LOL

[mslugx]

I was on geohot, but i ran kmead CFW and lv2patch.. everything is smooth. except....

After i run the lv2.pkg, and starts multiman, i don't see my game is listed, i have to go into the directory mode and select eboot.bin to boot is that normal?

for gt5, i updated 1.05 and it just sits there, black screen. what did i do wrong?
